Let those hard-to-express thoughts be buried with this body...

Hearing behind him, his voice was cool and cool, and every word cut gold and broken jade.

"Take her down and put her in a dark prison. Three days later..."

He closes his eyes.

"Ling Chi."

In the winter of the fourth year of Fengxiang, Dacheng's iron cavalry encountered Tiansheng's army in Luo County. The lights in the military tents were still on, and the sound of sighing was faintly heard, and then all the troops in the Cheng army shrunk. There were vague rumors in Dacheng Kingdom that the empress had already surrendered to Emperor Tiansheng, but no one knew the truth, only vaguely There are rumors that after receiving the handwritten letter from the empress, Hua Qiong, the female commander of the fire phoenix, first let out a long sigh and said: "It's all fate..." Then he said, "You can read it..." But I don't know who she is talking about.

Immediately afterwards, this female marshal did another thing that shocked the world. She led the army to surrender to the Tiansheng court. The female general's compliments have turned into verbal attacks, but this female commander, who has always followed her heart, just laughed and snorted, saying: "If she wants to fight, I will fight, if she wants to surrender, I will surrender, whatever. Why more?"

The vicissitudes of the female marshal's side have affected the hearts of the world, but the imperial capital has fallen into a little chaos. A most secret news is spread from the mouths of high-ranking court officials, with unfathomable fear and uneasiness.

"I heard that His Majesty's Eucharist is unwell..."

"It is said that the empress was poisoned the night she took Dacheng..."

"Didn't you say that the empress would be late tomorrow? That kind of rebellion should implicate the Nine Clans, but the Nine Clans are indeed gone... The Ning family has already killed them..."

"Don't worry about the Dacheng Empress or not, Your Majesty hasn't gone to court for a few days, if the news is true..."

"oops… "

The officials looked suspiciously over the high wall. According to legend, the empress was imprisoned in the dark prison of the palace, where Feng's mother and son were imprisoned.

Few people have noticed that behind the high wall, in the angled shadow caused by the two houses, there is a shadow that sticks tightly to the wall and does not move.

He was stuck to the wall very tightly, as if he had been born on the wall. The winter wind was bleak, the wall was icy cold, and there was a draft, so cold to the bone. There are thin frost flowers, and I don't know how long he has stuck them there.

A team of guards passed by in the alley beneath him, unaware.

This is the alley at the entrance of the dark prison. It is very narrow. The guards keep walking towards each other. There is almost no gap. Only when the guard changes every six hours, there will be a short gap. People with extremely high martial arts can take the opportunity to sneak in. , but the time is extremely short, only enough to do one action. This person obviously took advantage of the changing of the guard to swipe up to the wall and stick it there six hours ago, and waited for six hours before changing his guard and sneaking in again.

In such weather, for six hours, wearing only thin tights in order not to be conspicuous, ordinary people would have already froze to death, but this man was silent, even breathing with a faint white breath.

There was a commotion underneath, and the time had come. Taking advantage of the moment when the guard was changing, the man fell from the high wall and swept into the gate behind the fence in the corner alley like a light smoke.

A group of guards came over, the first ones were carrying food boxes, it seemed that they were here to deliver food, that person was hidden in the shadow behind the iron gate, and when the last person passed by, he stuck behind him silently .

The last person didn't notice anything, and felt something was wrong after walking for a while, but when he suddenly looked back, he saw only the empty way he had come from.

"Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?" A guard turned around and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Xiao Zhang who was possessed shrank his neck and said with a smile, "The cold draft in the hall makes people shiver."

"What are you doing suspiciously?" The person in front smiled and said, "I think you were frightened by the people inside."

"That's true." The little Zhang rubbed his head, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "That woman is very miserable, she looks scary... Your Majesty is also, the hatred is so big, she can kill her with a knife, why bother to torture her like this People..."

"Shut up! Did you say that?" The leading guard yelled, and Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he quickly fell silent.

The man stuck behind him, with a stiff mask on his face, has been sticking behind Xiao Zhang like a light smoke. Looking at it from an oblique angle, Xiao Zhang's shadow is slightly thicker, as if he has two hands and feet. It looked really weird.

Hearing this conversation, the man's indifferent body suddenly paused, Xiao Zhang felt it again, turned his head again, the empty way made him tremble, he couldn't help urging the people in front to quicken their pace, the leading man kept walking Going down, he showed his badge to the guards inside, and the door creaked open.

The moment the door was opened, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and the sand and stones on the ground were rolled up and rushed into people's eyes. Everyone groaned, rubbed their eyes, and blocked the wind, all of them didn't notice the gust of wind. Here, there is a lighter wind passing by.

The prison is dark and gloomy, with no skylight, the exit is the one, and there is no guard inside. It is said that a master was imprisoned in the early years, and he was kidnapped by him. Set up any guards, and replace them with endless organs.

The designer of this dark prison once boasted that he wanted to walk from this dark prison to his destination without disturbing anything—unless he has no legs, so even the delivery of food is done after opening the door The food box is placed on a depression in the ground, the weight is placed on it, and the mechanism is linked. The food box will be sent to the door of the cell, and the prisoner will take it by himself.

At this moment, the man floated in.

Like a shadow without legs in the dark.

He seemed to be walking on the stairs, but there was still a finger-width gap between the soles of his feet and the ground.

It is possible for ordinary masters to swipe across without touching the ground, but the distance is limited, and they cannot walk slowly. Walking in the air like this is no longer the category of light work, but requires strong internal strength to support it.

The man seemed to be walking easily, but upon closer inspection one could see the strangeness. His hands and feet seemed to be a little stiff, the knuckles of the fingers exposed outside the sleeves were blue, and his body was trembling slightly.
